Are they sending out ULEZ letters to everyone in the country, even those
of us with the good sense to never go anywhere near Londonistan?

Not sure about that but there seems to be enough, from what people tell me
about it on Twitter and facebook too. I guess nobody can then suggest they
were not aware of it.

I wasn't aware of it before reading this thread. I would guess that the
majority of those living outside London haven't heard of it. When was
this letter Bill was referring to sent out, and who was it sent to?

Sent to your business address? I don't know the details of their
publicity campaign but recall they were urged to do more to tell
businesses about it.

Yes of course, they are sending to businesses in the main. Of course I do
not know if it says or not but also they are removing the exception of
private hire vehicles from paying the charges.
This is supposed to reduce traffic. Of course the private hire industry are
not happy, saying they are making the black cab drivers a monopoly.

No it was sent to a retired schoolteacher who hasn't been to London
since 1965. She has two cars but the letter didn't mention a reg no. or
anything.

q
When ULEZ operates
A daily charge runs from 00:01-midnight. If you drive within the ULEZ
area across two days, for example before midnight and after midnight,
you will be liable to pay two daily charges if your vehicle that doesn't
meet the ULEZ standards.
/q

If you have to pay, it's £12.50 per day. Big incentive to not overstay
the welcome.

Useful to hear this (I didn't get a letter). My son will need to pay (or
his company will) but my car is Euro 6, so OK.

Well best make sure the cars she has have not had their numbers cloned or
later in the year loads of fines will descend.

I don't know how you can check your registration number has _not_ been
cloned (unless you have access to the data from all the ANPR systems).
You only find out if it has been cloned when the parking charges,
penalty charges, notices of intended prosecution, police etc start to
arrive.

It may well be that the letter has been sent because the number has been
cloned and picked up by the congestion charge (CC) cameras. TfL have
been writing to the registered keepers of such vehicles to warn them
about the ULEZ. If so it should indicate TfL got the address from DVLA.

On the plus side, that means the driver of the car with the cloned
plates has been paying the CC and may well pay the ULEZ charge. They
may be using the cloned plate to avoid insurance, road tax and MoT; and
as insurance should they need to do a runner.

That said, it'd still be sensible to let TfL et al know - though there's
not much they can do about it. And to put something on the back and
front of the car to distinguish it from the bog standard.
